Payment Modernization
Moves From Rails

Relax and relive the moment.

What was covered

Most banks never planned to end up fragmented. They modernized whatever rail needed it next, and the patchwork grew from there.

PYMNTS, Finastra, SRA Consulting and Atlantic Union Bank put payment hubs to the test: one orchestration layer that can support multiple rails, accelerate new capabilities and modernize infrastructure without another massive rip-and-replace. They'll get into what works, what doesn't, and whether the economics justify the investment.

Key Topics:

What agile event programs are and why they're essential

Strategies and tools for building agile event marketing

How to scale agile event programs without losing brand integrity or valuable data

Steps you can take right now to introduce agile event marketing into your business

If you would rather embed a video or stream from a different service, use the "Livestream - iFrame Block", which can be found hidden in the Layout Tab.
